MEMORANDUM TO:      William D. Travers
Executive Director for Operations
FROM: Annette L. Vietti-Cook, Secretary /RA/
SUBJECT: STAFF REQUIREMENTS - SECY-00-0105 - PROPOSED USE OF THE NRC WEB SITE TO SATISFY THE STAFF REQUIREMENT TO MAKE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AVAILABLE TO LICENSEES

The Commission has approved the staff's recommendation to use the NRC Web site for dissemination of significant enforcement actions and to discontinue publication of NUREG-0940, Enforcement Actions: Significant Actions Resolved, as described in SECY-00-0105, subject to the following comments.

If significant public comments in opposition to the proposal are received, the staff should consult with the Commission again on this issue.

Other organizations than those on the NRC distribution list for NUREG-0940 may benefit from NUREG-0940. The staff should broaden its approach for obtaining public comments. In addition to the notice in the front of the next edition of NUREG-0940, the staff should publish a Federal Register notice announcing the staff's intention to seek public comments on its proposal to discontinue publishing NUREG-0940.

It is unclear what the staff means by "compelling public comment." The use of the word "compelling" or similar words may stifle public comments. All public comments should be encouraged and the staff's review should determine the merits of and resolution of those comments.
